Anyone done a spin class?

Anyone done a spin class? WDYT? What muscles were sore afterwards?

Im going to start dragging my sorry jiggly bum to the gym instead of whining about disliking whats in the mirror and Im thinking of doing a spin class.

i havent done a spin class yet either cause i am a bit nervous about it as it is soooooo unfamiliar to me. but i have heard it is really good at burning calories so i want to give it a go.. sorta. :-) will be interested to the respones you get here.

I did a lot of spin classes before I got pregnant and absolutely loved it - it's such a good work out! It is great because you can work at your own level because you control the resistance level on the bike. Your legs and but get very sore afterwards, but from memory it was also good for my tummy. Now you got me thinking I want to go back to spin!

Love em! Yep your butt and thighs will be sore, but sooo worth it!!

I recommend it totally! I'm a huge fan.

I'm an RPM instructor (similar to Spin but RPM is the 'Les Mills' version) and I've just started doing it again after having bubs # 2. And I feel BRILLIANT. Its a great work out and can burn up to 900 calories per session. Targeting the legs, hips, thighs, butt and tummy.
I lost all my pre baby weight with RPM after having my first baby within 2 mths (combined with healthy eating of course) so I'm hoping it'll do the same for me this time around too!

Good luck!

how does it compare to body attack? in regards to effort, calories burnt, etc? do you get breaks? does it hurt your back? ooh, and are those little bike seats uncomfy if you have a big bum LOL. (i havent ridden bike since i was like 10 or something)

When I first read the heading I got a picture of people spinning around
So, please enlighten me
